Competition Seen For Armory Sale
HELENA�The town of Poplar may have a friendly competitor in bidding Oct. 18 for the state's "white elephant" Poplar Armory which houses the town offices fire hall and library.
The imposing white building, of concrete bluck construction, will go on the auction block at Wolf Point, the Roosevelt County seat, members of the Montana Land Board were informed Wednesday.
.�*t the same time, the board learned that the Fort Peck Indian Reservation Tribal Council would like to buy the structure recently vacated by the Army Reserve, which had been the principal renter.
Iliam Youpee. the tribal council chairman, and Mrs. Eva Mae Smith, a council member, told the board "the tribe is interested in g< tting ownership of the building."
"We want the armory for tribal and community use and recreation." Mrs. Smith said.
POPLAR BAND TO BEGIN MAGAZINE SALES CAMPAIGN
I
The Poplar school instrumental department will launch their annual magazine drive this week in I the Poplar area. Anyone wishing1 subscriptions to magazines are' asked to hold them until a band member contacts them.
Nearly all of the most popular magazines that America reads will be offered during this drive.
Last year the band grossed over $1.200 00 on their drive and the goal has been set at $1.500.00 for this year. The money netted from the drive has been used to purchase band uniforms and other needed equipment.
Patrons ordering subscriptions are asked to place their receipts in an obvious position in the front window so band members will know you have been contacted. If for some reason you are not contacted within a week you may call 3279 and place your order.
Gayle Craig, band director, states that almost a third of last years subscriptions were in the form of (Christmas presents to relatives and friends. So if you don't need magazines yourself, send several to friends and relatives as Christmas gifts. What easier way could you complete Christmas shopping and provide an appreciated gift for your families?
Support the school band program: all subscriptions will be greatly appreciated.
"We told the city we'd back away before fighting over it," Youpee said.
"We would be happy to have your bid," said Land Commissioner Mons L. Teigen, who will cry the sale of the building which has been appraised at $5,600. That's the minimum price the state will accept.
Disposition of the armory has been before the state for some time. One legislature tried to give it to the town of Poplar but a State Supreme Court decision prevented such an outright gift.
The town put up $27.000 when the armory was built. The federal government paid the rest of the bill but required the state to hold title.
This would appear to give the city cause to expect to obtain the building for a nominal price.
However, Youpee advanced a cause for the Indians.
According to reports he has heard from older members of the tribe, the Indians years ago gave the town land on which to build an armory. This was done because the National Guard unit had a membership that was 95 per cent Indian.
However, the city didn't use the land for the armory. Instead, he claimed, the town subdivided the land into lots and sold them.
Sale begins at 10 a.m. in the courtroom of the courthouse. Sold will be lots 14. 15. 16 and 17 of block 19 in the first ward of Poplar's original townsite. Included will be all improvements, together with the Armory building. Sale is subject to any right-of-way easements made before the sale, and the state will keep mineral rights not previously reserved. Terms will be cash and the purchaser will pay an additional $5 for issuance of the deed.

MANUFACTURING FIRM
MAY MOVE INTO AREA
Safflower
Harvest
Started
Safflower harvest in the Culbertson area is underway with prospects of a good yield, according to Pacific Vegetable Oil Cora Manager Ernie Ferguson, 'Cui-bertson. The crop looks good, conditions are excellent, moisture content is down and weed infestations on fields cut so far are not bad at all, he stated.
A small amount of damage is reported by grasshoppers and a little frost damage was found in some areas, but Ferguson feels the effect is too slight to affect the overall yield.
On Monday 20 truckloads of safflower seed were delivered to the processing plant near Cul � bertson with a similar number reported on Tuesday. Safficwer processing will begin early next week, Ferguson said.
Woman's Club Tea Tuesday
The Poplar Womans Club will hold a get-acquainted tea for all members and ladies of the community from 3:00 to 6:00 Tuesday, Sept. 25 at the home of Mrs. Ralph Miller.
The Womans Club is a civic and social organization and welcomes all those women of the community whe would like to belong.
Four representatives of a large midwest manufacturing firm visited Poplar and Wolf Point this week to examine possibilities of transferring operations to the Fort Peck Reservation.
As tribal officials and Wolf Point and Poplar businessmen examined samples of the company's product, they listened to explanations of how implanting a factory for such products could be a stepping stone to many industries for the area. No definite decisions were revealed by company representatives at any of the 12 or 13 meetings, luncheons and tours in Poplar and Wolf Point during the group's two and one-half day stay. However, local businessmen and tribal officials made it clear they felt the company would be a definite asset to the community and would work together to try and meet all requirements necessary in bringing the company to the reservation.
Three company officials and a business consultant from New York talked with various groups in the two communities, telling what they would have to do for such a move, explaining problems, and outlining what they could offer.
Though the company itself would be a major industry for the reservation. possibly even more important might be the addition of a tool and die shop, a company official said. Part of the shop is necessary equipment for manufacture of their product, he said, but in addition it could offer services to other companies interested in the area. One of the first considerations for most industry is availability of tool and die construction and repair service, he added. Primary reason for considering a move, the company official stated, was to allow room for expan-1 sion. If we move, we will move our entire operation, he said. We're here today for a very good reason, he said, we're here because we're interested, but there will be many problems.
Problems considered included need for skilled workers, shipping distances and building space. Cer-

tain areas can provide unlimited help, unlimited building space and considerable assistance, a company representative said. These things are problems here. I have as yet seen no building in the area suitable for our operation, he went on, and unless this and other problems can be worked out in advance the risk of moving will be too great. He indicated he liked the climate and area, but those were not the only considerations when thinking of moving an entire business.

day. 52 weeks a year. He then questioned a local store owner for an opinion on sales and was assured the product was a year-round item. Another official stated business for the company has doubled each year for the past several years, bringing need for expansion and consideration of new territory.
Samples of products were presented at several meetings and explanations given as to how each was develpoed. A new item, still in process of development, was shewn businessmen and tribal officials. It was the first time the
item had been shown outside the company, as in a competitive business, it was imperative that products be kept under wraps until put on the market, company m� � said. Average cost for development of an item like the one shown �before a single sale was nade was estimated at about $50.on t. This expense was just for research and tooling.
Attending most meetings and tours with the company group were Miller. White, John Zachry. B.I.A. industrial development specialist; Ned Thompson, area B I A industrial development special.-1: Robert E. Matson, State Plant Board representative: Stan It y Lymon. agency superintendent: trib ! board members. Youpee. Ken Smith. Dolly Akers. Leslie Fa Star and Bill Smith, and Wolf Point and Poplar businessmen.
Company officials arrived in Wolf Point Monday morning. Monday was Poplar day and included luncheon, meeting at the tribal of-fice, meeting in the agency sup.i -intendent's office, tour of Poplar and community, and Poplar businessmen's dinner.
Tuesday the group moved to Wolf Point for a morr.irg reacting with Wolf Point businessmen and tour of the city. Following luncheon with the Chamber of Commerce, the group continued theii tour of the city. Dinner was sponsored by the tribes and Indian dances were featured as entertainment.
Tuesday night's activities saw the company group. B.I.A. representatives the State Planning Board representative and tribal officials join dancers in Indian round dances.
Final meeting of the trip was with the Fort Peck tribes at tribal chambers in Poplar.
Bureau of Indian Affairs and Tribal officials asked that details regarding the company, including type of product, home area and name of the company, be withheld until negotiations are more nearly completed. Local officials were optimistic over chances for bringing the industry but said I nothing was definite.

Craig Adams Church Scout
Receives Award
During the regular morning worship at St. John's Lutheran Church Sunday, Star Scout Craig Adams received the Pro Dio et Patria (for God and Country) award.
This high scouting award is earned by a boy after he has given 150 hours of service to the church of his choice other than the regular Sunday School, Church, and youth fellowship attendance. He must also complete a special project for his church. Craig built a miniature altar to be used in the kindergarten Sunday school class room at St John's Lutheran.
The awarding ceremony began with the presentation of color and a prayer. Craig was presented to Pastor Donald Hippe by scout mas-
ter, J. D. Wright. Pastor Hippe made the presentation to Craig and his mother, Mrs. Duane Adams, pinned the badge on the scout. The ceremony ended with a prayer and recession of the colors. The boy scouts of troop 76 who are members of St. John's Lutheran Church, participated in the ceremony.
It is thought that Craig is the first Scout to earn the highest church award from any Poplar church. The award is of equal rank to the Eagle Scout award which is the highest award in Scouting before a boy becomes an Explorer Scout. The two pins are worn side by side designating the equality of the awards.

The Roosevelt County vacancy has been filled by Everett Jacobsen, life time resident of the Froid area. Besides operating a wheat ranch east of Froid, Mr. Jacobsen is also a member of the Farmers Elevator Board and president of the PTA. Mr. Jacobsen replaces Robert Bjorge of Culbertson.
The purposes of the county committee are to review applications for FHA loans, give guidance to the local program and to assist in many ways to make credit available to eligible farmers. Composed of

Safflower
Harvest
Started
Safflower harvest in the Culbertson area is underway with prospects of a good yield, according to Pacific Vegetable Oil Cora Manager Ernie Ferguson, 'Cui-bertson. The crop looks good, conditions are excellent, moisture content is down and weed infestations on fields cut so far are not bad at all, he stated.
A small amount of damage is reported by grasshoppers and a little frost damage was found in some areas, but Ferguson feels the effect is too slight to affect the overall yield.
On Monday 20 truckloads of safflower seed were delivered to the processing plant near Cul � bertson with a similar number reported on Tuesday. Safficwer processing will begin early next week, Ferguson said.

Four representatives of a large midwest manufacturing firm visited Poplar and Wolf Point this week to examine possibilities of transferring operations to the Fort Peck Reservation.
As tribal officials and Wolf Point and Poplar businessmen examined samples of the company's product, they listened to explanations of how implanting a factory for such products could be a stepping stone to many industries for the area. No definite decisions were revealed by company representatives at any of the 12 or 13 meetings, luncheons and tours in Poplar and Wolf Point during the group's two and one-half day stay. However, local businessmen and tribal officials made it clear they felt the company would be a definite asset to the community and would work together to try and meet all requirements necessary in bringing the company to the reservation.
Three company officials and a business consultant from New York talked with various groups in the two communities, telling what they would have to do for such a move, explaining problems, and outlining what they could offer.
Though the company itself would be a major industry for the reservation. possibly even more important might be the addition of a tool and die shop, a company official said. Part of the shop is necessary equipment for manufacture of their product, he said, but in addition it could offer services to other companies interested in the area. One of the first considerations for most industry is availability of tool and die construction and repair service, he added. Primary reason for considering a move, the company official stated, was to allow room for expan-1 sion. If we move, we will move our entire operation, he said. We're here today for a very good reason, he said, we're here because we're interested, but there will be many problems.
Problems considered included need for skilled workers, shipping distances and building space. Cer-

tain areas can provide unlimited help, unlimited building space and considerable assistance, a company representative said. These things are problems here. I have as yet seen no building in the area suitable for our operation, he went on, and unless this and other problems can be worked out in advance the risk of moving will be too great. He indicated he liked the climate and area, but those were not the only considerations when thinking of moving an entire business.
Primary credit for interest in the area, according to both company and tribal officials, went to

day. 52 weeks a year. He then questioned a local store owner for an opinion on sales and was assured the product was a year-round item. Another official stated business for the company has doubled each year for the past several years, bringing need for expansion and consideration of new territory.
Samples of products were presented at several meetings and explanations given as to how each was develpoed. A new item, still in process of development, was shewn businessmen and tribal officials. It was the first time the
item had been shown outside the company, as in a competitive business, it was imperative that products be kept under wraps until put on the market, company m� � said. Average cost for development of an item like the one shown �before a single sale was nade was estimated at about $50.on t. This expense was just for research and tooling.

Craig Adams Church Scout
Receives Award
During the regular morning worship at St. John's Lutheran Church Sunday, Star Scout Craig Adams received the Pro Dio et Patria (for God and Country) award.
This high scouting award is earned by a boy after he has given 150 hours of service to the church of his choice other than the regular Sunday School, Church, and youth fellowship attendance. He must also complete a special project for his church. Craig built a miniature altar to be used in the kindergarten Sunday school class room at St John's Lutheran.
The awarding ceremony began with the presentation of color and a prayer. Craig was presented to Pastor Donald Hippe by scout mas-
ter, J. D. Wright. Pastor Hippe made the presentation to Craig and his mother, Mrs. Duane Adams, pinned the badge on the scout. The ceremony ended with a prayer and recession of the colors. The boy scouts of troop 76 who are members of St. John's Lutheran Church, participated in the ceremony.
It is thought that Craig is the first Scout to earn the highest church award from any Poplar church. The award is of equal rank to the Eagle Scout award which is the highest award in Scouting before a boy becomes an Explorer Scout. The two pins are worn side by side designating the equality of the awards.
